You can buy a lot from Amazon: toothbrushes, gadgets, random knickknacks you’ll use once. The most underrated section in Amazon, however, might be the furniture. That’s right: You can buy furniture from Amazon, and some of it is even eligible for Prime’s two-day shipping. Better yet, a lot of it is crazy cheap. Head over there right now to find a desk, lounge chair, bed frame or dresser and you’ll be inundated with more options than you’d care to sort through. But don’t worry; we did it for you. From industrial-chic desks to mid-century modern sofas, these are the best pieces of cheap furniture you can buy from Amazon.

Is Amazon Furniture Good?

The short answer is yes — it is if you know what you’re looking for. You might consider Amazon furniture as equivalent to that of Target, Walmart, Wayfair, Overstock or others. All of these large retailers sell box-shipped, build-it-yourself furniture that does the job most of the time — though all of them also sell some junk. If you’re working with a tight budget, then you might be hard-pressed to find items in your price range made of solid wood or upholstered with real leather, for example. But while most items may not be heirloom-quality, some recognizable home brands sell furniture on Amazon, and you can be sure that there’s something to fit most interior design sensibilities. And if you’ve got a larger budget to spend, you can easily find top-tier pieces with the ease of free and/or expedited delivery. We’ve done the work to weed out the bad stuff, leaving you with only the best affordable furniture on Amazon.

rivet aiden couchAmazon

Best Affordable Couch on Amazon

Rivet Aiden Mid-Century Modern Tufted Leather Sofa

This stylish sofa boasts a solid hardwood frame and real leather upholstery. Not only that, but it looks identical to options from pricier brands, meaning it’s likely a white-label product. That means it’s probably the exact same couch you’re getting from those other brands, from the same factory, but without the name-brand markup.

SUPERJARE Boho TV StandAmazon

Best Affordable TV Stand on Amazon

Superjare Boho TV Stand

Our favorite TV stand on Amazon also happens to be super affordable. It has a cool rattan feature on its doors, solid wood legs and ample cutouts for all of your cords.

Sofas eat up a huge chunk of home furnishing budgets. This mid-century modern option from Zinus does not, and it looks shockingly similar to a much-adored direct-to-consumer furniture brand’s sofa, which goes for three or four times this price. More than 1,000 people have copped this sofa, probably owing to its timeless design, ease of assembly and, of course, its low price.

bookshelfAmazon

Best Affordable Bookshelf on Amazon

6-Tier Bookcase

“Bookshelf” is a bit of a misnomer these days. Sure, they hold books, but they’re also just really good at displaying stuff. This 41-inch bookshelf can support up to 44 pounds on each of its six shelves. The shelves alternate between mesh backing and X-shaped backing, bringing an industrial-style look to your home.

nightstandAmazon

Best Affordable Nightstand on Amazon

Safavieh Genevieve Nightstand

Two drawers — one small, one big — and a classic design. Let your nightstand be the statement piece in your bedroom.

bedAmazon

Best Affordable Platform Bed on Amazon

Zinus Suzanne Metal and Wood Platform Bed Frame

Bed frames usually don’t come this cheap, and they also don’t usually look this good when they do. The mix of wood and steel is a timeless pairing, and non-slip tape on the platform helps to prevent squeaking.

folding faux leather accent chairAmazon

Best Affordable Lounge Chair on Amazon

Lue Bona Folding Woven Faux Leather Accent Chair

If you’re trying to furnish a small space, this compact and foldable leather accent chair will do the trick. It’s low to the ground but also wide enough to sit in comfortably. And like a lot of Amazon finds, it looks more expensive than it is.

wood platform bedAmazon

Best Affordable Bed Frame on Amazon

Zinus Alexis Deluxe Wood Platform Bed Frame

A Thuma bed dupe if we’ve ever seen one, this bed frame clocks in at a fraction of the price of the original ($1,195 for a queen). According to reviewers, this bed is easy to assemble and sturdier than you would expect considering the price tag. Plus you can’t beat the chic, minimalist design.

4 drawer dresserAmazon

Best Affordable Dresser on Amazon

Anbuy 4-Drawer Dresser

If you’re looking for a simple, affordable dresser that’s a step above what you might find at Ikea style wise, then this modern, geometric-patterned one from Amazon is a great bet.

Neo Chair Office Computer Desk ChairAmazon

Best Affordable Office Chair on Amazon

Neo Chair CPS Office Chair

For under $50, you’re obviously not getting a top-of-the-line ergonomic office chair, but this little number is way better than it has any right to be for the price. A comfy seat, a mesh back, decent lumbar support and a couple of adjustment points will definitely get you through a few hours of work and then some.

deskAmazon

Best Affordable Desk on Amazon

Tribesigns Computer Desk with Hutch and Bookshelf

If you don’t have space for a bookshelf and a desk, get a two-in-one. For a Frankenstein’s monster of a desk, this doesn’t look half bad either.

dining tableAmazon

Best Affordable Dining Table on Amazon

Safavieh Brayson Modern Walnut Dining Table

This simple dining table will be where you want to take all your meals (and work calls if you still don’t have a desk). And if you’re worried about hauling this 50-pound table into your home, one reviewer, who describes themself as 5-foot, 3-inches and 125 pounds, said they set it up with no issue.

Best Affordable Dining Chair on Amazon

Safavieh Lucca Retro Black Dining Chair, Set of 2

For under 200 bucks you get two, count ’em two, dining chairs that fit with practically any design style. Reviewers say they can set them up in about 15 minutes, and one said, “No regrets!”

deskAmazon

Best Affordable Shelf on Amazon

Nathan James Theo 2-Shelf Industrial Wall Mount Ladder Table

Small homes require small desks. This wall-mounted ladder table takes up space vertically so you can save your precious square footage for more important things.

credenzaAmazon

Best Affordable Sideboard on Amazon

Walker Edison Bristol Sideboard

Hide all of your stuff inside this stylish sideboard cabinet. The angled doors add a bit of fun to an otherwise un-fun piece of furniture. And if you have some stuff you want to show off, those exposed shelves will do the trick.

bar cabinetAmazon

Best Affordable Buffet on Amazon

Walker Edison Buffet Sideboard

Is this a buffet or a sideboard? However you want to classify it, it’s got room for your wine, cocktail-making accessories and other booze gear. Or, you know, you could just use it for other non-alcoholic related stuff.

futon sofa bedAmazon

Best Affordable Sleeper Sofa on Amazon

Mopio Chloe Futon Sofa Bed

It’s been a while since college, but we definitely don’t remember futons looking this good. The back of this simple loveseat — Amazon’s bestselling futon — folds down to create a makeshift bed. It comes in eight lovely colors, and you can get it now for well under $400.

upholstered armchairAmazon

Best Affordable Reading Chair on Amazon

Guyou Wood Upholstered Armchair

It can be hard to find an armchair that is both elegant and livable. This one offers a polished look, while still being comfortable, cozy and less than $300.
